Texas is a third world country.
Literally, all of the South is. Atlanta and Austin are the only sane places on the entire northern half of the gulf.
Many were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a serious, potentially life-threatening syndrome resulting from rapid skeletal muscle breakdown.
The damaged muscle tissue releases proteins into the bloodstream, which can cause kidney and organ damage, the lawsuit says.
Didn’t know that but you think a gym teacher would.
Shouldn’t everyone know about the dangers of Rhabdo since the Crossfit fad happened?
The average person might not know this. But a football coach definitely knows this. There’s zero chance these fucks weren’t aware of the risks.
Average person here just learning about this.
What? What is this? What do I even search for?
Rhabdomyolysis. Basically, certain injuries can cause proteins from the damaged muscle tissue to break down and leak into the bloodstream. Those proteins then cause major damage to your kidneys, which are unable to process them and can result in lifelong complications. This is something that most people doing hard physical training (such as athletes) are generally made aware of, as it’s not uncommon for eager athletes to overexert themselves and cause these sorts of injuries to themselves.
Many of these kids are likely going to end up spending the rest of their lives in and out of hospitals because of this.
A football coach in San Angelo, TX?
Yeah… Uh, they may not be a paragon of education and physical science. They may not, in any strictly meaningful sense, be literate.
You’re surprised a red state doesn’t keep up with the latest research from the scientists?
Yeah when I did CrossFit briefly ~20 years ago they were warning people about it. Piss ends up looking like Coke (soda) with all the work your kidneys are doing IIRC.
How could they not know this was a bad idea?
The Texas education system /j
i would say 400+ would be that bad idea , not even people who work out as thier lifestyle are doing this. maybe as a challenge.
Because they are not of sound mind or willfully don’t care
They enjoy causing others to suffer.
I don’t think I ever got close to three figure push ups.
This is a charter school, nominally public education. They recently got the State Board of Education to let them convert from a religious private school to a charter, but barely took a single word of the religious mission off of their “about us” page. Clearly, Jesus and the state of Texas wanted those boys to get rhabdo.
